Smear

Being bored is underrated. We fill every empty second. Podcast in the car, screen in the queue, music while we cook. Nothing ever gets the chance to land. Some of my best ideas have shown up when I had nothing to do and nothing in my ears. Let yourself be bored for a bit today. Your head needs the space.

I want to keep learning things I'm bad at. Not because I need another skill. Being a beginner keeps you humble. You fall on your face, you laugh, you try again. Too many people stop learning the day they feel comfortable. That's when you start getting stiff, in the body and in the head. Pick one thing this winter you're terrible at. Then go be terrible at it!

Meditation is still the most underrated thing I do. 10 minutes. No app needed, no fancy setup. Just sitting there and noticing how loud the head actually is. It changed how I react to everything. Not just in trading, in conversations, in traffic, in bad news. 0 cost. Huge return. I don't get why more people don't try it.

Tip of the day : Don't grab your phone the second you wake up. I used to do it every single morning. News, charts, messages... and the day already owned me before my feet even hit the floor. Now the first part of the morning belongs to me and my loved ones. Coffee, a few quiet minutes, being present. The rest can wait. Believe me, it can.

The discussion regarding if the market is run by algos or not is pretty funny. Guess what? It doesn't matter which one is true and which one isn't. If it is? So what? If it's not? So what? Make up your own mind and stop trying to force your ideas onto others. That's just ego. Besides, as long as you make money. Who the hell cares?

Don't rely on propfirms. The goal should always be personal capital. Always!

Fathers day today! Gonna bring my kids to their gramps today and spoil him the way he deserves. Family is what it's all about, never forget that!

Everyone keeps saying "stick to one thing". I am on the other end, while you shouldn't have too many, just relying on one isn't the solution either. You want something to work for variations of conditions in the markets, not just one. That's why some people call it "crappy pa". Ofcourse that's the truth if you only rely on one thing alone. You'll have to honor what you're capable of. If one thing works for you, fine. Good work. But do not claim that's the ultimate solution.

Not gonna go by ultimate on Tradingview next time. Will downgrade myself to premium, honestly I don't need the extra fluff ultimate has to offer.

Another day with the gift of being alive! Being able to wake up with a smile on my face every single morning is a gift, it's something I cherrish a lot. It wasn't always this way, but I've fought hard to claim it. I love life💜

Word of advice! Don't let the loud crowd decide who you become after the day ends. Everyone has an opinion. Most of it is noise. The real work is deciding what you actually stand for when nobody is watching. I am a very big fan of that quiet check-in. What kind of person showed up today. What kind of person walks into tomorrow.

Friday reminder: You don't need a perfect week to be proud of it. You showed up. You kept going when it was heavy. You're still here. That counts more than people admit.

Making music reminds me I'm more than one thing. No P&L. No scoreboard. Just creating something because it has to come out. That matters. The legacy I'm building for my kids isn't only what I earn. It's who I am when the noise is gone.

The dump isn't the opportunity. The opportunity is what you do after it. Everyone wants to be a hero in the move they already missed. That's how accounts get blown: size up, revenge trade, give it all back. You already know this. The hard part is doing it when the chart looks "easy". Protect the account first. The next setup will still be there.

Grokbot is bloody awesome! I've made it my own personal assistant in many ways now and it makes the every day life so much easier! The team really outdid themselves on this one!

Conserving capital is just as important as winning! The first thing is what a lot of traders forget and they size up too quickly, revenge trade and what not. That's how accounts are blown. While we cannot control our emotions, we can learn how to deal with our response to them! That's two completely different things.

Don't believe everything the "enlightened" tell you. Just because something is old doesn't mean it's bad. Some things from the past deserves to be recognized for the value it brings. There's a lot more to this game.

There's always a way! Don't be blinded.

I have managed to automate some parts but not getting the results I want from it. (Yes it is profitable but not near the same results as if I do it myself) Will keep it up, subjectivity is without a doubt the hardest part to get right!

The more I work with AI now the more I realise the posibilities. Seriously this is awesome! 1 of 3 indicators are perfected now I believe. I will try to add/improve more as I go but I've reached the point where it just feels so good. The other 2 are a little more subjective so harder to make. We'll see how this ends up 🤣 Besides that I've started to work on some other things as well! Life is awesome!
